17-20 I'd say are the "peak years".
21-28 being still highly attractive (relative to her "peak") as long as health/ lifestyle/ hygiene/ dress sense etc is taken care of.
29-36 or so can either be a steep drop-off, or a slight "downgrade" from earlier 20s, depending on the individual. (A lifetime of bad habits will almost certainly catch up to most such women at this point, whereas lifetime of good habits will start to pay off, as some women in their 30s can still compete on looks with many 20 year olds.)
37-43 I'd say is approaching the edge of the median range of the "beauty distribution curve".
After that attractiveness levels are likely dictated more by the influence of how emotionally bonded she is with her partner (and vice versa).
Then there are men her own age or older who just don't wanna date teenage girls or 20-somethings any more, and find women closer to their own age more alluring and sexy. Although he'll probably still jerk off to photos of his 40 year old new girlfriend from when she was in early 20s, it's just nature after all, it's neither good or bad thing, it's just a part of being a red blooded male.

I would say women looks their best between the age 18 - 35, while men looks their best between 25 - 40.
My reasoning on why is because of women tends to suit a youthful appearance better and it's probably because of their fertility. They tends to be slimmer, have a better skin, healthier shinier long hair and smell sweeter. In addition the facial features looks feminine, smaller and finer at a young age than later on. As you grows older, your ears and nose would grow bigger like how you would start to get gray and wrinkly.
Men however tends to look better with a more mature appearance, I thinks. Therefor I would say their best looking age starts at 25 instead of 18 since they mature slower. At that time most men's beards have grown thicker, their hair have darken, the muscles grown and the facial features looks more balanced speaking of proportions. The boy like chubby or round features also starts going away completely. There's more women than men that can suit a round face from my experience.
What Guys Said
When I was a very young man, I thought that any girl over the age of 30 was a dried-up, washed-up, has-been, over-the-hill hag. When I got to be 24-25 years old, some of those "hags" were looking mighty fine! But I thought that women over the age of 50 has outlived any possible usefulness. When I was in my 40's, young girls were still attractive but older women had somehow managed to become more attractive to me. Now I'm 64 years old, and I have dated women who were 78 and 82 (both very well preserved) and thought nothing of it.
When I was 18, the idea that I would one day date an 82 year old woman probably would have made me toss my cookies. Whether you believe it is irrelevant; your perception on this matter will change as you get older.
Christie Brinkley- age 65A woman's peak sexuality happens in their mid 20's to mid 40's on average. By this time in their life, if they have taken care, they produce higher amounts of pheromones, and have learned a thing or two. Personally I find women in their 30's and 40's extremely sexy.
Something happens to women when they hit their mid-20's, they stop being sweet and become totally bitter and cynical and jaded.
It's not even physical, younger women are just easier to co-exist with.
Women think it's all about looks, but it's just a coincidence that you started getting your first wrinkles at the same time you transformed into a psycho bitch.I don’t think it’s really about age because a woman can look like a rundown 40 at age 16 or she can look like a good 30 at age 43. That said, in general most women look better before maybe early to mid 30s.
Makeup is an issue too. Wearing 5 inches of makeup makes her look way older. And not in a good way.20~23 is the peak for the average woman, in my opinion.
Women aged 16 to 19 do look youthful, but also immature, 20~23 I think is where most women lose immature facial features (plump, girly cheeks, "shapelessness") and develop more mature, more feminine traits.
That's of course assuming peak physical condition, I would consider a skinny 40 year a lot more attractive than a chubby 20 year old.Physically can depend on a lot of factors but I like a more feminine woman and when a woman has some financial stability in life they also have the means to dress better. Also, confidence is attractive and that usually comes from some successes in life and experiences.
The most attractive age is when there is an intersection between a woman’s non-negotiable independent purpose in life, her good habits to keep herself mentally and physically primed, and an insatiable desire to contribute to a relationship/family. This is usually between 24-48
Varies girl to girl. Mostly about lifestyle, genetics and how well they keep themselves in shape. I've seen some girls I found more attractive at 28-29, more so than when they were 23. Just speaking superficial physical attraction.
Women as a whole don’t have a peak. Some girls look their best in the their 20’s while some look their best in their 40s. Depends on genes and if they actively take care of their health.
I went with 24-28, for obvious reaons. The awkward stage is over and the negative effects of aging haven't begun to show. For the record, I hold this to be true for us guys, too.
